Mezzanine Cards
PowerEdge M610x Only
PowerEdge M610x supports two mezzanine cards. Mezzanine cards can be installed in both the slots on the midplane interface card.
NOTE: PowerEdge M610x is a full-height blade but supports only two mezzanine cards in the expansion bay. The two
mezzanine slots on the M610x system board (MEZZ2_FAB_B and MEZZ1_FAB_C) are reserved for the mezzanine
interface card.
Full-Height Blades
Full-height blades support four mezzanine cards:
• Slot Mezz1_Fabric_C and slot Mezz3_Fabric_C support Fabric C. They must match the fabric type of the I/O modules installed in I/O
module slots C1 and C2.
• Slot Mezz2_Fabric_B and slot Mezz4_Fabric_B support Fabric B. They must match the fabric type of the I/O modules installed in I/O
module slots B1 and B2.
Half-Height Blades
Half-height blades support two mezzanine cards:
• Mezzanine card slot C supports Fabric C. This card must match the fabric type of I/O modules installed in I/O module slots C1 and C2.
• Mezzanine card slot B supports Fabric B. This card must match the fabric type of I/O modules installed in I/O module slots B1 and B2.
The following table shows various supported combinations of mezzanine cards and I/O modules.
